Who is the Author?
There isn't a clear clarification of who the author is in this article but King James and the other leaders of the nine and thirteenth years could play as the authors of this document
Who is the audience?
The audience would be the people who will live in the new colonies and the Virginia colonists.
What is the Tone?
The tone of this peace would be a professional or official tone.
What is the Purpose?
The purpose of this document is to issue to the people how the colonies will be run (that are coming from King James), in Virginia. Also the the rules and privileges the people will have in each colony.
How is this Persuasive?
ETHOS (emotions)- The speakers are trying to persuade the people of England to live in the new world. The audiences safety under English control in the colonies is the emotion. This legal document doesn't have such a strong emotional appeal.
PATHOS (credibility/character)- The respect, in this case, isn't gained from the people because King James especially, and the other leaders are already strong authoritative figures. Most of the audience would automatically give respect toward the speakers.
LOGOS (logic)- The heart of an argument is reasoning. The speakers give word to the people that all of this land is "unclaimed" and will become a land under new rule and new opportunities for the people to have different lifestyles. King James and the other leaders laid down the rules of how the colonies will be run but wanted this act to result into striving colonies and a well rounded government.
